The scale of the problem is staggering. Every year, the world produces around 400 million metric tons of plastic, and a significant portion of this waste finds its way into the environment. It’s estimated that over 12 million tons of plastic enter the ocean annually, choking marine life and disrupting delicate ecosystems. If current trends continue, scientists warn that by 2050, the ocean could contain more plastic than fish by weight. The implications are dire, not just for marine creatures but for all living beings, including humans.
The Greek government has announced plans to construct a new evacuation port on the island of Santorini as seismic activity continues to rattle the region. Since late January 2025, Santorini has experienced tens of thousands of small to moderate earthquakes, raising concerns among both scientists and residents about the potential for a major event.
Many of the products we use daily—whether in our homes, workplaces, or industries—have significant environmental footprints. While some of these impacts are widely known, others remain largely hidden, contributing to ecological degradation without widespread public awareness. From the chemicals in our cleaning supplies to the waste from our electronics, these products shape our environmental reality in profound ways.
The world is on the brink of surpassing the 1.5°C global warming limit set by the Paris Climate Agreement, raising serious concerns about the future of climate change mitigation. Recent reports confirm that 2024 was the hottest year on record, marking a significant shift in global climate patterns. Scientists and environmental experts warn that this breach could have devastating effects on ecosystems, economies, and vulnerable communities worldwide
Climate whiplash refers to the extreme and abrupt shifts between two contrasting weather events within a short period. Imagine months of severe drought followed by days of torrential rain that overwhelm dry, hardened ground and lead to catastrophic flooding. This rapid shift can also manifest as warm spells in winter, unexpected cold snaps in spring, or other sudden changes that deviate significantly from historical weather patterns.
In recent years, sustainability has become a buzzword for businesses. From flashy marketing campaigns to bold claims of carbon neutrality, companies are eager to position themselves as environmentally conscious. However, beneath the surface
What is the Digital Carbon Footprint? A digital carbon footprint refers to the environmental impact of using digital devices and online services. From the electricity required to power data centers to the energy consumed by servers, every click, scroll, and stream contributes to carbon emissions. If the internet were a country, it would rank as the seventh-largest energy consumer globally.
Indigenous communities around the world have developed unique systems of knowledge over centuries, deeply rooted in their interactions with nature. This wisdom, often transmitted through generations, provides sustainable practices that modern environmental strategies can greatly benefit from. In Nigeria and beyond, indigenous knowledge offers insights into balancing human activities with ecological preservation. Here are ten ways indigenous knowledge promotes environmental conservation:
Technology has transformed the way we live, and it holds immense potential to make sustainability achievable for everyone. From tracking your carbon footprint to reducing waste and optimizing energy use, there’s no shortage of tools to help you go green. By embracing these innovations, you’re not just saving money or resources—you’re contributing to a healthier planet. Start small, experiment with these tools, and watch how technology empowers you to live sustainably in the digital age.
As concerns over climate change and environmental sustainability grow, electric vehicles (EVs) are often hailed as a cleaner alternative to traditional gasoline-powered cars. Governments, companies, and consumers worldwide are increasingly turning to EVs as part of the global transition to greener technologies.
